Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

The on-lookers gasped in shock.

Felix changed his expression and looked at James in puzzlement, “James, what do you mean by doing that?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

James took back his long leg imperturbably, and looked at Angela who was stunned, saying with a smile, “Didn’t you say there was no fun? Now you have something to play now.”

Only the one who fell into the pool knew how cold the water was in the winter, but no one dared to speak.

Who was James? He was the powerful man who could turn the whole City B upside down by a stomp of his feet.

His social status was much higher than the on-lookers here.

It could be known from the name that he had power in hand instead of relying on his family.

Felix didn’t dare to annoy James although his family wasn’t just an ordinary family.

Looking at Angela who was held by James in his arms, he realized something at once.

“She is yours. Sorry, it’s all my fault.”

James didn’t deny it, looking down at the table and casually raising a glass, “You said everyone was just trying to have fun. You can have fun the way you like. I am sorry to disturb you! As an apology, it’s all on my account.”

“How can we do that.”

“It’s your birthday, so naturally I should pay the bill. You guys have fun, I’ll come up later.”

After saying that, he embraced Angela and turned to head out, ignoring Felix’s reaction.

The guests behind him were jaw-dropping.

The one in the pool didn’t dare to say anything until they disappeared from the rooftop. Then he shouted, “Fuck, just pull me up.”

People resumed drinking and having fun, while Felix stared at the bottle of wine cleaned in the half way by Angela, his face was terribly cold.

James tugged Angela into the elevator by her shoulder.

When the door was closed, she was flung aside like a piece of trash. She subconsciously held onto the elevator wall due to her injured legs.

James looked at her and smiled sarcastically, “If I hadn’t come, what would you do next? Striptease in public? Huh?”

“I…” In fact, before James came, she already had the answer but he came just in time.

After a pause, she bowed her head and said, “If you’re not here, I’ll take off my clothes.”

James frowned and said in an extremely ruthless tone, “Maybe the man was right about what he just said. Angela, you’re such a slut! If I don’t come, are you planning to hook up with a rich guy to get yourself out of here? Aren’t you?”

“Yes.” She clutched her fingers, shaking slightly, “Isn’t that what you want? I’m an attempted murderer, abandoned by my family, ostracized by my co-workers, and trampled on by everyone.

Telling me to take off my clothes is just a small thing and my future days are going to be like this. Who can I count on to save me over and over again?”

When she spoke, her eyes were slightly red, but she didn’t cry.

She still looked the same but there was a decadently beautiful.

James looked at her as if something had pricked him in the chest, not painful, but uncomfortable, “What are you saying?”

She decided to say anything she wanted.

“You all say I ruined Jessica, but… she actually ruined me.

You like her, so you try your best to let me pay the debts. But what about me? What about my debt? My whole life is ruined because of her. I want to kill myself but I dared not do that because I am afraid that you would be enraged and hurt my family.

I don’t want to see the everyday sunrise, because… the world to you is a hell to me.”

The words were all from her heart.

James suddenly thought of her blank eyes when she was released from prison. Something seemed to occurred into his mind, “What would you do if you hadn’t met me that day?”

She didn’t speak.

The light in the elevator were dim which gave him the illusion that she could disappear at any moment.

Raising his eyebrow, James clasped her slender wrist and said angrily, “Tell me!”

Angela felt hurt and struggled a little but in vain, so she just gave it up, “If I hadn’t met you, I would kill myself! Are you satisfied now?”

Forced to reveal the secret that had been in her heart all along, Angela felt her body had been emptied of its strength, leaning helplessly against the cold metal wall behind her.

She had tried to hold back her tears but later cried her eyes out.
